How to add a new account in the General Ledger 7

Additional accounts can be created for use in The Financial Edge. Each account number takes its name and account category from the root Account Code which is set up in Configuration. New account codes can also be created at the same time as the account numbers as explained below. When adding a completely new account, you may experience the following error if the root account code is not already set up in Configuration, Account Codes: Error: All segments must have valid values.

If running Accounting for Nonprofits version 6.4 modules or The Raiser's Edge with The Financial Edge, run the Update Account plug-in for the programs to recognize the new accounts that were entered in General Ledger 7.

If you are experiencing "Error: All segments must have valid values", add the new Account Code prior to creating the new account.
